Marina Review for Safe Harbor Crystal Point

Reviewed by: Ellen White on Sep 29, 2020
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.0'

Rating: 5

I'm giving it 5 stars to balance out the mistaken bad ratings. While most Safe Harbor marinas ARE indeed overpriced, the previous reviewers are confusing Safe Harbor Manasquan River with Safe Harbor Crystal Point. The Manasquan River Safe Harbor has no pool and is really just a concrete yard. Crystal point DOES have a pool, and a busy restaurant in season that serves dockside.

I have not stayed there - I stay at Clarks Landing - but I have seen the marina and the previous reviewers definitely confused their Safe Harbors

Marina Review for Thessalon Marina

Reviewed by: Ellen White on Jul 11, 2019
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 42'
Draft: 5.0'

Rating: 4

I really want to give this low rating only because of the OUTRAGEOUS price... $3 / foot - which is not competitive in the area.
The service and amenities were all fine, and worthy of 4 stars, but not worthy of that price. And the town is pretty dead. There is a pharmacy, hardware store, grocery store, and a couple of restaurants, but they all close at 7 or 8 pm.

If the price were lower, I'd be back... but not for the this price!

  Marina response received 7/16/19:
  After considering concerns from boaters, and reviewing a comment on the Waterway Guide made on July 11, 2019, Council at its regular meeting last evening passed a by-law authorizing a reduction in our monthly, weekly and daily dockage fees, and in addition, lowered the launch fee.
